Bienvenue, marhaban, welkom, byenveni, and welcome, Apostles… I am honored that you are taking time out of your busy lives to listen to the music that I’ve worked so hard to perfect. I do not consider you my fans but my family, and after you hear what I have to say through my music – I hope you are left with a deeper understanding of my message. You are my Apostles; know that I am humbled by your kindness and willingness to pay attention. Sin The Saint embodies the duality of good and evil that is the human spirit. Music is the vehicle I chose to carry an honest expression of my experiences in life. To me, the human journey is a struggle defined by lust, wrath and redemption. Lust directs a lot of our decision-making and it comes in many forms. It could manifest itself as physical or sexual attraction, an insatiable desire for money, status, or a gluttonous indulgence in something we desire. I speak about my experiences with lust from a perspective grounded in intellectual, sexual and emotional honesty. For me, cultivating that awareness is a pivotal step in personal growth. I lived out my childhood against the backdrop of civil war and intense violence. My personal experience with physical and emotional abuse has led me to believe that wrath and hostility are the manifestation of poor decision-making. I have struggled with anger, rage and pain since I was young; speaking candidly about what I have seen and what I have done is the only way I know how to be. Only with honesty can one achieve the ultimate stage of enlightenment, but by no means do I wish for those who listen to my music to mimic my actions or thoughts. We all have our own path in life. Yet I hope that the consequences of my actions are explained well enough that you decide to make better choices for yourself. My delivery may be melodic, and you may be pumped up by my music, but understand that my hope is that you learn that there are consequences to indulging in violence and wrath. Consequences that are worth avoiding at all cost… Redemption is something we all crave on some level – to be forgiven for past sins and protected from everlasting punishment. I believe that it doesn’t matter what you have done in the past, Apostles, like me you can decide to change your life in an instant and start living the right way in your God’s eyes. I pray there will be a day when I know when God’s forgiven me for what I’ve done and that will be the day that I will truly be a Saint.
